Farmhouse via della Porta 1, Murlo

In a hilly and very panoramic position on the hills on the border between Val d'Orcia and Maremma, country house with swimming pool. The building (365 sqm) was finely renovated in 2012 and is in excellent condition: inside there is a bright living area and five bedrooms with private bathrooms. Outside, the garden houses the 16 × 8 m swimming pool and is surrounded by woods that provide great privacy.
The property is currently working as a holiday home and rented out very successfully during the summer, but the internal layout of the building makes it very suitable as a private residence as well (both permanent and for the summer).
The farmhouse is in a very quiet location, surrounded by woods and easily accessible via an unpaved road (approx. 3 km) in excellent condition. Basic services are available in the nearby medieval hamlet (6km) or in the town of Murlo (11km). The property is very close to Siena as well (about half an hour's drive) and not far from the Tuscan coast, which can be reached in just over an hour's drive. In fact, the property is located along the road connecting Siena and Grosseto.
Royal Golf La Bagnaia is also available nearby (about 20' drive) for lovers of this sport.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES
The farmhouse (356 sqm – 3,830 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms) dates back to the end of the 19th century and was entirely renovated by the current owners in 2012. The work made it possible to maintain the charm of the original rustic building, while at the same time adding modern touches and classy finishes that make the farmhouse very warm and welcoming. The typical features, including the wooden beams, exposed stone walls and terracotta floor tiles, have all been preserved and valorized.
The main door opens onto a large entrance hall with staircase and service bathroom. Crossing the archway one enters the bright living room connected in turn to the dining area and kitchen just beyond. Returning instead to the entrance, a side door gives access to the first bedroom with en-suite bathroom, while the staircase leads upstairs.
From the central landing one then has access to three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, while the last bedroom is accessible directly from the outside via the staircase.

EXTERIORS
The property stretches over a total area of approximately 18.0 hectares (44.5 acres), most of which is covered by woodland: this guarantees great privacy and tranquility, two ideal characteristics for a rental property. The garden around the farmhouse (approx. 3,500 sqm) is dotted with trees that provide pleasant shade in summer and hosts various relaxation areas with canopies all around the building, also ideal for al fresco dining in company.
Slightly downhill from the farmhouse is the 16 × 8 m swimming pool with wooden sunbathing area: from here you have a breathtaking view of the hills of Val d'Orcia.
